💫✨️Taking a few weeks off just now ✨️💫

As we move into Easter, I just wanted to wish everyone a lovely time, whether you celebrate in a religious way, spend it with family and friends, or simply take a well deserved rest 💛

February and March have been the busiest months yet here, and it’s already looking like things will only get busier. So I’m taking this time to properly rest and recharge. 🙏😎

If I don’t reply to messages straight away, it’s just because I’m stepping back from admin and giving myself some space.

Rest is so important, especially when you’re doing energy work. You can’t pour from an empty cup ✨

“Rest is not a luxury, it is a necessity for growth, healing, and balance.”

Speak soon, and thank you as always for your patience and support 🤍 ###

🙏✨️💫
No special occasion.
No big milestone.
Just a moment to recognise the strength it takes to be a woman in this world. ✨

To the women building businesses, leading quietly, pushing through challenges, and showing up even on the hard days, I SEE YOU 💫✨️

Your resilience.
Your courage.
Your determination to keep going, even when it’s not easy, it matters more than you think.

💜☁️ My Why ☁️💜

🖥📚A website. A blog. A space to write, reflect, and share, because our voices deserve somewhere to land. ✨️💕

My meditations on Insight Timer, Why?
That app is a saviour, it brought me back to myself in moments I didn’t think I’d find my way through. 🙏🧘‍♀️💫
That’s why I share mine, because you never know who might need that same quiet support. 💖

A podcast, a place to speak freely. 🎚🎙
To hold space for real conversations, for women who have a voice, and for those still finding theirs.

All these extras, a hobby, but it’s rooted in something deeper - love, growth, and connection.
A community doesn’t just appear, it builds gently when you show up as you truly are. 🤩🌏♥️
And that’s what this is about for me, turning up as my whole myself.

I am creating, evolving, and pouring into the things that call to me, alongside my ASN work with the council and this, my business, The Zen Lotus. 🪷💖
I am shaping a life that reflects everything I am and everything I’m still becoming.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop being grateful for this path 🌿

✨New️ Blog Posts ✨️

I’ve been busy writing lately and just published three new short blog posts ✨
Each one comes straight from the heart and touches on things so many of us are navigating right now, nurturing our gut health, creating stronger boundaries to avoid burnout, and fully owning our feminine power 💫

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, reconnect, or step more confidently into yourself, these might be for you.
I love writing and I’d love for you to have a read and let me know what resonates with you 💛

There’s a version of you that doesn’t shrink, doesn’t apologise for taking up space, and doesn’t wait for permission. She’s not “too much.” She’s true. Owning your feminine power isn’t about performing confidence, it’s about coming home to yourself.“Your power is not something ...

✨️ 500 listens ✨️

Thank you to those who have listened, left reviews and ratings on my meditation.

I had one goal for this to reach 500 listens by the end of the year and here we are already.

This is very much a hobby, but it is something I've wanted to do for so long and I am so pleased that it is doing so well.

Namaste 🙏 💜☁️

🌸 The Full Collection 🌸

I have newly designed the Full Collection Treatment list, a wee freshen up just in time for spring. 🌼🌸

Since it's launch in September, everyone is loving the new treatments, I am so pleased. 💜
I feel exactly where I need to be, but I never stop dreaming.
Have I stopped training? That’s a question… there are maybe 4 more courses that I want to do, then that’s it! 😂

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly."

Books are currently closed, but will reopen later in the year. 💕🙏✨️

✨️ REIKI TRAINING ✨

Five years ago, I never imagined I’d be a Reiki Master, and now here I am, soon to be hosting my very first Reiki Level 1 training with the most incredible women 💫

So, what is Reiki Level 1?
It’s the beginning of your journey with energy healing, learning how to connect with universal energy, support your own wellbeing, and gently offer healing to others. It’s powerful, grounding, and deeply personal.
I don’t actively advertise these trainings, they tend to unfold naturally, with people finding their way to me when they feel truly called 🤍

I may consider running another Reiki Level 1 later this year.
If you feel that little nudge, trust it ✨

Tag someone who might feel called, share this, and follow for updates 💛

✨️❤️ International Women’s Day ✨️❤️

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women everywhere.

But being heard matters too, especially when it comes to maternity and gynaecological care.
In the Highlands, many women travel long distances for support and sometimes feel their experiences aren’t fully listened to. 🙏💕

Through my work at The Zen Lotus, offering holistic therapies, I have the privilege of hearing many women’s stories around pregnancy, hormones, pain and recovery. Again and again, the same message comes through: women want to feel heard, respected and supported in their own bodies.🪷

We deserve systems where women’s knowledge of their own bodies are taken seriously.
We deserve healthcare shaped with women, not simply for them.💓

This International Women’s Day, let’s keep speaking, keep challenging, and keep demanding better, for every woman, everywhere!👏

✨️The Zen Lotus Podcast IS HERE! ✨

Please find the link below for my FIRST EVER PODCAST episode. ✨️🙌👏🎙🌟

Wow - so many listens and beautiful messages already. 💓🥰 it has been brought to my attention - you can't share a Spotify link from Facebook, if you want to help me out and share, it has to be from Spotify and from the actual episode. ✨️👏

A true passion project, born from simply loving people, listening to their stories, and creating a space where those stories can be heard.

I am so pleased and grateful that Pauline Burnett from Highland Holistic Massage School said yes to being my first guest.

Her story is powerful and inspiring. 🌟

I’m incredibly proud of what’s been created. I’m by no means a professional podcaster or editor so take that into account. 😃

If it resonates, please review, share, and spread the word.
I know Pauline’s insights will speak to many.

Thank you all so much. Your love and support mean more than you know. 💚🌿✨
